Well, I'll tell you P&J, many people would say it's crazy to try and make a living through puppetry, but I think I would go crazy if I didn't try! I'm reminded of when my wife and I flew from our home in Wisconsin to audition to be puppeteers at Disneyland. When all the other applicants (all...

I only watched the Pop Goes My Heart video so far, but found it to be quite good, and very amusing. I like your style kid! The editing, and camera work were every bit as impressive as your puppeteering skills. Keeripes, I only wish that I had started so early on my work with puppets! Keep up the...

Wow Wiseman that Million Puppet goal over in Perth would be no problem with that machine!

Yes Bill, Seymour on MT came much later and that's why I was suggesting that it may have been a nod to the older movie by the muppeteers. Seems an unlikely coincidence that you've got two elephants (sort of) both named Seymour. Or as I've suggested before and had seconded on this forum, I may be...

Wasn't a big fan of the movie. Didn't find it unsettling, but I'm not a huge fan of the scatalogical humor. In some ways I thought it was kind of daring and inovative, but overall it just wasn't something I found very entertaining. But on another note...until Kuriboh Man's very thorough...

Thanks gang! Yeah, I can't say that I expected this road to be an easy one, but in my past I've owned and operated several small businesses and I must say that despite the impression to the contrary your average small business owner is "just squeaking by." For most people wealth is not one of...

Okay, I've discovered what many of you do with your puppets, which has raised another question in my always inquisitive mind. Who among you is actually earning some or all of their living through their work in puppetry? I ask with a greater than average curiosity because, as mentioned in...

Not to rain on your parade, but I rather agree with muppetperson. Though the Muppets add an element of whimsy I think the fact that the good doctor has become a puppet adds plenty of whimsy by itself. I think something similar was done to great effect on Angel when he was transformed into a...

Ah, a fellow Art student. I'm very proud of my art degree. As I've told many people this degree really opens doors! Why, I can work at any convenience store in the country, and there isn't a fast food chain around that would turn me away. But seriously (or as serious as I'm likely to get...

Actually I'm only a couple of miles away in a small town west of Janesville that you probably have never heard of. Good to know there's another puppet person so near to home!

Ah ha! So that's how you're so quick to respond. (jots down note to self) So would you say your puppetry pays the bills, pays a bill, pays cab fare, or just barely covers the expenses of making the puppets in the first place? (sneaking off to account settings to get that email alert thing...

Okay staceyrebecca (I'm not at all surprised that you're the first to respond!) you say that you built them for "shows". What shows? Where and for whom do you do performances? As someone who is driving towards making a (meager) living through puppetry I'm VERY interested in hearing about people...

Okay, I've been coming to this site for almost 3 years now and have been working on and off on making puppets of my own for some of that time. My question to all of my fellow puppet lovers is what do you do with the puppets you make? Are you doing puppetry somewhere? Do you plan on starting to...

Yes, truly amazing work! So where did you learn to create such wonderful puppets? Granted this forum is an OUTSTANDING resource but one can not live by forum alone. I'm still pretty new to the whole puppet construction thing and always on the lookout for more resources and education.
